Recently I have been crushing on a really unexpected color for me; YELLOW.
The color yellow hasn’t always been a favorite of mine. I mean, I had nothing against it, but I had not really used it in home décor as much as I could.
Recently I used it as an accent in the dining room makeover at my design studio, and I am now loving it!
So I decided to start my own mellow yellow trend……..
……….And incase you are not a lover of yellow, I put together a Polyvore Board with some yellow home décor accents to inspire you. Take a look
1) Surya Classical Symmetry V Framed Art 2) Paisley Yellow Pillow (Front) Wings Pillow In Yellow (Back) 3) Import Collection Yellow Trellis Garden Stool 4) Wrong for Hay Hackney Sofa 5) Zara Home Decorative Rhinoceros Ornament 6) Traditional Yellow Wedding Headdress 7) Crate and Barrel Willa Yellow Side Chair
Of Course I recommend using it in moderation in a room, because too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.
Yellow creates a happy and cheerful mood in a room. It captures the joy of a wonderful day outdoors basking in the sunshine and fresh air. It is also a very energizing color that can uplift your mood. It is perfect in areas like the kitchen, dining room, and bathrooms.
Although yellow is a cheerful color, it needs to be used in moderation in entire room color schemes. Studies have shown that people are more likely to lose their temper in a yellow interior, babies seem to cry more, and too much of it concentrated in one area can create feelings of frustration.
In chromotherapy, yellow is believed to stimulate the nerves and purify the body.
The key to successfully pulling off yellow is finding the right hue that will suit your taste and carefully incorporating it into your home. Color is a very personal matter, so choose wisely.
Are you a fan of the color yellow?
Check out a few spaces I found across the world wide web that are beautifully executed with yellow taking center stage
So after seeing the yellow rooms above, how do you feel about yellow now? Yay or Nay?
Check out my recently completed yellow inspired room here if you haven’t already seen it.
Thanks for stopping by the Naked Decorator today!
Have a terrific Tuesday!
Be Inspired!
I’ve been loving yellow lately too, especially when it comes to clothes. I really love that yellow bedspread with the colorful painting behind the bed.. gorgeous!
Isn’t that gorgeous!!!
When I was little my bedroom was yellow. It will always be one of my favorites.
Really like that garden stool. Every time I visit here you have such pretty designs.
My oldest son’s room is yellow. Pooh Bear yellow to be exact. Before he was born, we found that color at Home Depot and HAD to do it because his room was pooh themed, so it was perfect!
I love yellow on our walls- it is so refresing.
I totally want a yellow rhino now. Such a bright and sunny color for a room
I love soft yellows and blues together. When I’m in a room with yellow I feel it lifts my mood. Love it! The examples here are lovely.
I love yellow, it just brightens everything up. It is actually one of my favorite colors when it comes to decorating.
Wow, these photos are gorgeous. Yellow has always been a favorite of mine – but a specific one. This yellow, is absolutely stunning it would go perfect with my current favorite teal.
I’ve been loving yellow, purple, and grey! Thanks for the inspiration! I love the yellow and grey curtains!
I always liked yellow and grey combined. I mean straw kind of yellow and mellow
I have never been a big fan of the color yellow in decor, but these look fabulous! I definitely agree that it needs to be used in moderation and when it is it gives the room a lot more life.
Yellow is a HAPPY color! I’ve been trying to venture out and try new colors as well, and our new one is green! There are soo many shades, and the kids love that I’m incorporating it into our bathroom now… LOVE The photos, the living room I would take in a heart beat!
Yellow is so spring – my daughter is looking for a yellow car now. Great suggestions – thanks.
fabulous choice. Not the same medium, but I’m making a yellow dress today!
Ooooo sounds pretty! I hope we get to see it in your blog
Never been a fan of yellow but the way it is paired here i kind of like it.
I really want that mustard/yellow couch, it’s very pretty. I have yellow and grey in my bedroom. It’s a pretty combo.
Yellow….it’s up there with orange and red on my list of colors that make me want to gouge out my eyes. Some of these pairings aren’t bad to be honest…but yellow is just so…yellow.
Oh no! Please don’t gouge your eyes your because of my post! It’s ok to not like yellow……and orange and red
Yellow with light grey has been on my radar for a while. And yet, I don’t have anything with those colors!
I’m in love with the bedroom from House Beautiful! The yellow is subtle, but accenting. It is just gorgeous!
Gorgeous!! Your site is the place to be to see beautiful interior design. I love the idea of using bright yellows colors as accents but the pale yellow for the wall color is so appealing.
Yellow is so filled with joy – it’s one of my favorite accent colors and the pieces you’ve shown are gorgeous.
I am loving yellow now as well. I was a pink fan however yellow is my new favorite color
I don’t generally like yellow, but I’ve been using it more and more in my text when I edit photos for my blog. And some of those rooms really appealed to me!
I am normally not a big fan of yellow but I am digging how all these come together. I need to add some color to my house.
Yellow is my favorite color. It’s so happy.
I really like that Willa Yellow Side Chair in the photo up top! Some shades I like much better. My mom always said a bright yellow would make you nervous, LOL! I just know yellow makes me happy.
I love that first yellow photo. I love the yellows and blues together.
I love yellow in decorating. It’s such a great accent, it really makes neutrals pop.
I like the pop of color that yellow has. it is really nice and cheerful.
LOVE yellow! We are decorating our bathroom in yellow.
I’ve never been a big fan of yellow myself but you have done a great job showing how it can be used well as an accent color if you don’t want it to be the main color. I think it’s perfect if you want a bright kitchen too. Red is similar … we had a red kitchen once and loved it. It was like a deeper red, not super bright but still bold.
Not a big yellow fan! But THIS is beautiful. We are renting and our walls are yellow, this is some great inspiration for me!
my bedroom is yellow!! a muted gold but yellow. i love it
I am with you and not a huge fan of yellow, but I love the look of mixing it in as an accent color. The throw pillows and trellis stool you found are awesome!
I love yellow the light yellow you picked never knew it was called mellow yellow. I love light shades of all kinds yellow’s blues reds and teals.
I am totally digging the yellow rhino; I’d love to have that sitting at my computer desk!
I love yellow. I think it totally brightens up a room. I have my eye on these yellow throw pillows at HomeGoods and I need to buy them.
The yellow is so perfect for summer. It just makes you happy and feel more vibrant.
I have never been a fan on yellow myself, but your first picture of the room looks gorgeous. The yellow looks like it has really created a warm feeling and it really makes the room look larger:) Great job!
I really like the yellow against the black, very cool design
I used to love yellow then it has become green. You make it look so fresh and updated…Love it!
I have never been a big fan of yellow as far as fashion and on myself but I absolutely love it when it comes to decorating. Funny thing is that I don’t use it in my own home but I love it when I see pictures of it on the net.
I love the walls in the first picture. The room looks so bright and inviting.
I love the yellows! I think pops of a bright teal would we awesome with it!
I love how you have the yellow featured, but it is too alarming for me. I like all the colors in my home to initiate relaxation.
That yellow couch would certainly be an eyecatcher! I’ve never seen one like that before.
Those first two examples are spectacular! I am LOVING them so much!
I personally think if you use the color correctly, you can do SO much amazing things with it
It’s just a very misunderstood color in my book!
I’m a total YAY. I love yellow. My kids room has a yellow and grey color theme. I want to add it to more spaces in the house. It’s such a feel good color.
I love the yellow accents. I am not a big fan of yellow walls. I just talked my mother in law out of painting her bathroom wall “pee yellow”!
I really love yellow and gray but I’m so nervous that if I decorate a room in those colors, I will be bored of them too quickly. Maybe a smaller room would be best so I could change it if I am tired of the color combo
I feel like yellow was trendy a while back and then faded a little. But not much! Yellow + Grey became the new thing! I like it, but not for my house.
All of my walls are currently yellow. Not sure I could do a yellow couch, but I love it!
I actually love the color yellow for decorating and have my living room painted this color right now. It is perfect for the warm seasons.
Really digging this color. Didn’t even think it was possible to decorate so beautifully using this color but from all the pictures I can see that is possible and looks great! Love it!
I love yellow – but I like a brighter, sunnier yellow rather than a mustard-y one.
I love yellow. I had it in my kitchen for years. The sunny one don’t like the mustard one either. lol
Love this color! Mellow Yellow is a great color for spring and summer!
